§ 77. Sir KINGSLEY WOODasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he 454 is aware that the pre-War re-enlisted pensioner whose pension has been reassessed under Article 1030 (a), Royal Warrant, 1922, and whose disability element is assessed at the minimum of 6s. 6d. per week, as laid down in this article, is subjected to a still further reduction of this amount by 50 per cent., and granted 3s. 3d. per week only: whether there is any regulation authorising such reduction; and if he will see that this matter is readjusted?
§ Mr. GWYNNEI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave him on the 6th July, on this very point.
§ Sir K. WOODCan the hon. Gentle-man do anything in those very unfortunate cases where a man in work is receiving less remuneration than another man and his family who have applied to the guardians.
§ Mr. GWYNNEIf the hon. Gentleman will read my reply of 6th July, he will see that I answered the question very fully, and that my Department must act on the definite rules laid down in the Army Order.
